The Pittsburgh Penguins are two-for-two coming out of the bye week thanks to big wins over the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals. Those wins helped them built a little more cushion between themselves and the Metropolitan teams chasing them in the Stanley Cup Playoff race, while also getting them a little closer to the Capitals in the race for first place. After Sunday’s regulation win in Washington they are four points back of the Capitals with a game in hand while also playing them three more times this season. The door is open for the division.
What’s happened with these past two third periods?
